I like it simply because it give you an idea of scale.

- That's the only reason I can think to do it, but I think most people are doing it beacuse it's trendy.mumblingmynah
- *gives. My god, it's those little errors that make you seem so much more retarded than you even are.kalkal

There's been an article on Design Observer or CR about a year ago on this sort of presentation.

what's really funny about the one above is the self-awareness of it all. it even has the clips at the bottom as if to say, "yeah we could have hung it, but we don't think this trend has been drug enough through the depths of monotany, nor have the cries to stop, been heard enough through the halls ad nauseum."
- They're to weight it down... It'd curl up otherwisekalkal
- But it's nice that they match.mumblingmynah
- I thought so too!kalkal

Having said that, I believe people do it because its the "trendy" thing to do. Its sad that its seen like this because I genuinely think its a useful thing to do, and it will be looked down on very soon.

pretty soon you'll see mannequins doing this very thing. they'll have poseable fingers and will come in a variety of ethnically aware flavors. 3M should launch this line spring 2008.

Wasn't this brought up in recent weeks also? I saw it mentioned on CP and somewhere else... *thinks*
kalkal's point is very sound. How else should you represent it's scale without simply holding it in front of you?
- Stand in front of it and point to it?mumblingmynah
- hmmmmm, list the dimensions?morilla
- A ruler? Like a police photo of evidence?ian
